RKE020 Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 You need to get a life, like me stop working on cars and just stay at work. Good job fella might have to do the twenty the same, see how we go. Actually like the grey they use in Subi's just keeps things brighter. Cheers Al :laff: :D Quote

Dropz Posted April 22, 2010 Report Posted April 22, 2010 if youd like a hand i'd be keen after work. if theres enough work to go around lol. havent really gotten my hands dirty with a rolla yet. need to learn lol. Quote
greenmac80 Posted April 22, 2010 Author Report Posted April 22, 2010 its all good man... pretty much i need to set TDC and align dizzy + leads accordingly and put front end panels back on. thats it.... i hope. Quote
greenmac80 Posted April 23, 2010 Author Report Posted April 23, 2010 perhaps when the engine conversion happens in a few months i'll get ya then if you'll still be keen. update its running and running well. all back together and driving. slight exhaust leak that i'll have to fix but the 5 speed despite being low km the synchros are quite noisy. so i'll probably be buying some newlon?? i think it is... anyways its an additive. can definately tell the difference between the 3k and the 4k. the 4k is revving more happily than the 3k did and the power is notably better. all up pretty happy.

SLO-030 Posted April 23, 2010 Report Posted April 23, 2010 Piston Broke Automotive- 1 Vs Not Running 4K- 0 Good to hear the beast fire up once again. Quote
greenmac80 Posted April 26, 2010 Author Report Posted April 26, 2010 yeah it is good. ran into my first problemo.. someone before me replaced the pcv valve with a breather filter. and now after a long drive oil is pissing out of the breather ruining my nice clean efforts. so a note to everyone don't replace the pcv valve its there for a reason.. so thats is now fixed. also sparkplug tubes leaked... so they came out and some new 0 rings were put on. re did valve clearances. tried to put eleccy dizzy on failed... so returned to stock again. and.... my low km gearbox is oh so noisy. i have put 125mm worth of nulon into it so far.. perhaps i need to put more in. thats about it... oh and my speedo is waaayyy out. i put the 4speed gear in and yeah... it reads 130kph when i'm actually doing 100!!! eek. lol thats is all. cheers, Luc Quote
greenmac80 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Report Posted April 27, 2010 couple of snaps. nice and clean... well no oil and its as pretty as i can be bothered. but looks 100% better than it did. Quote
